About the Role

As the Cloud Database Administrator for Vice President at icapitalnetwork, you will take charge of ensuring the performance, reliability, security, and seamless operation of our SQL and NoSQL database platforms. Collaborating within a dedicated database team, you will work closely with application engineering, platform, and security teams to maintain databases that are scalable, resilient, secure, and observable across all environments.

 

Key Responsibilities

Platform Performance & Scalability

  • Oversee the end-to-end performance of SQL and NoSQL databases across various environments. This includes query optimization, indexing strategies, execution plan analysis, and tuning of database runtime parameters (e.g., PostgreSQL query plans, MongoDB indexes, DynamoDB access patterns).
  • Proactively mitigate performance regressions through comprehensive load testing, performance analysis tools, and CI/CD validation gates.
  • Collaborate with application teams on schema design, data modeling, and workload-driven performance enhancements, focusing on relational schemas, document models, and NoSQL access patterns.

Reliability, High Availability & Disaster Recovery

  • Design, implement, and fortify production-grade SQL, NoSQL, and document database systems with robust replication, failover, backup/restore, and security protocols.
  • Define, implement, and validate backup and disaster recovery strategies, ensuring routine restoration testing and compliance with RPO/RTO objectives.

Observability & Operational Excellence

  • Establish SLIs and SLOs for database health, focusing on latency, error rates, contention, replication lag, storage growth, and cache efficiency across SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Create actionable dashboards and alerts, maintaining operational runbooks alongside up-to-date documentation.
  • Lead or participate in production incident responses and post-incident reviews related to database platforms.

Security, Governance & Automation

  • Implement database security best practices in collaboration with the InfoSec team, emphasizing least privilege access, RBAC, auditing, encryption, secure secret handling, access reviews, and secure service-to-database authentication across SQL and NoSQL data stores.
